3 Poor

This beach is nothing but a mediocre spot to waste your precious time and energy. The scenery is dull and unimpressive, lacking any natural beauty or charm. The sand is coarse and gritty, making it unpleasant to walk on, and the water is murky and uninviting. It's hard to imagine anyone finding solace or relaxation in this lackluster location. Overall, this beach is a complete disappointment and not worth the effort to visit.

9 Excellent

As a child, my experience at the beach left much to be desired. However, upon returning eight years later with my family, I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements made. The once unrecognizable and unpleasant environment had transformed into a beautiful oasis. The previous swamp-like terrain had been replaced with a picturesque landscape that was enjoyable to explore. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful, allowing for a relaxing day at the beach. I would highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a serene and enjoyable experience.

4 Frustrating

This purportedly "nice" spa place boasts of its fresh and salt water parking, as if that's supposed to be some sort of luxury. The only thing that seems to be worth mentioning is the shade and the breeze, but really, what kind of beach doesn't have those? And let's not forget the food and drinks place, because apparently people can't relax without stuffing their faces. Overall, this beach seems to be just like any other, with nothing particularly special to offer.

2 Very poor

This particular beach in the southern region is quite unpleasant to visit as it is overgrown with thick bushes and muddied terrain. The pathway leading to the beach is also highly inconvenient and difficult to navigate. Overall, this is not a beach destination that I would recommend.
